# Manage roles
## Create a role
To create a role, click on the `New` button at the top-right corner of the `User rights` page in the Spot settings. A creation side panel opens:
* Give the role a **name** (required) and a **description** (optional).
* **Define the audience scope** associated with this role. You have two options:
* `All members` : Within the limits of the assigned permissions, the member will be able to manage all Spot members.
* 💡 *Concretely, a member with permissions related to live events will be able to manage, from the live participant list, all Spot members regardless of their group.*
* `Limited to specific groups` : This option allows you to restrict the role’s permissions to specific audience groups. A search bar lets you select the desired groups.
* 💡 *Concretely, a member with permissions related to live events will only be able to manage, from the live participant list, members who belong to the groups selected in the role’s member scope.*
* â›” Important: If no groups are selected, or if the selected groups contain no members, the member assigned to this role will not be able to manage any members.
* **Enable permissions** for this role using the switches. You must select at least one permission to create a role (without any permissions, the role is equivalent to the **Member** role 😉).
* Create and manage lives: you can choose between 2 options
* `Access all lives` - the member will be able to :
* Create lives

## Edit a role
Once you've created a role, you can edit it. To do so, click on the role line in the role table. The side editing panel opens. It contains 2 tabs:
* `General` tab. From this tab, you can modify your role's information:
* Name
* Description
* Audience scope
* â›” Important: If no groups are selected, or if the selected groups contain no members, the member assigned to this role will not be able to manage any members.
* Rights (please note that you cannot set all rights to off).
* You can also delete the role by clicking on `Delete role`. Please note that you can only delete a role if no member is associated with it.
* `Members` tab. From this tab, you can view the members associated with this role.
